[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 384335, member: 4809"] First of all, the Barnes TSX retains nearly 100% of its weight and generally opens to twice its diameter. That's on hell of a wound channel! Secondly, given the lighter weight of their bullets (lead vs. copper), they tend to have a slightly higher muzzle velocity than same-length, lead bullets. Add number 1 and 2 together and you generally get pass-through shots with gaping exit wounds. I would never call another hunters experience into question, but for me - blood trail has never been an issue. The target is usually down within a few yards of where it was shot. Now.....if I could just get them to group out of my 6.5-06 AI [/QUOTE]
